Ariana Grande has broken her silence following the death of Mac Miller, her ex-boyfriend who she also collaborated with several times throughout her career.

The 25-year-old singer took to Instagram to share a touching note and a video clip that showed Mac laughing.

“i adored you from the day i met you when i was nineteen and i always will. i can’t believe you aren’t here anymore,” Ariana said in her post. “i really can’t wrap my head around it. we talked about this. so many times. i’m so mad, i’m so sad i don’t know what to do. you were my dearest friend. for so long. above anything else. i’m so sorry i couldn’t fix or take your pain away. i really wanted to. the kindest, sweetest soul with demons he never deserved. i hope you’re okay now. rest.”

Macdied last week at the age of 26 following an apparent drug overdose.

However, one of his friends, Shane Powers, is speaking out about they have it all wrong on his podcast The Shane Show.

“They were very much in love and I have to say, [Ariana] was incredible when he was first sobering up. She was a f—ing G to him. There could not have been anybody more supportive of him being sober than Ariana. I saw that, I was around it, I took phone calls from her. ‘How do I help? What do I do?’ This little girl was unbelievably involved and helpful to him being healthy,” he said on the Monday (September 10) episode.

“Whether he’s an addict or not, the way that Mac partied was not healthy. [And] there was no one in his life more ready to go to the wall for him when it came to him being sober,” Shane continued. “She was an unbelievably stabilizing force in his life and she was deeply helpful and effective in keeping Mac sober and helping him get sober. She was all about him being healthy. Period.”

Ariana did not add any words to the post, but the sentiment is obvious.

Ariana‘s manager Scooter Braun posted his own message on Instagram. In one post he wrote, “This was a good man with a great heart. He will be missed and is gone way too soon. I’m angry to say RIP buddy.” In another post he added, “Always a kind heart. You will be missed and you are gone way too soon. Way too soon. Rest In Peace Mac.”
